The operator moves the beam to its starting position by using the "IN" conveyor and presses the "START” button. The entire sequence of operations will be automated, which includes positioning the welding heads and moving the beam at the right speed, starting and stopping the welding process on stationary and mobile sides, activating copper back-up assemblies, pressure cylinders and activating web holding.
Most people believe that H beams and I beams are one and the same. They are not. They may share the same structure and function, but they are not the same thing. These are some differences to keep in mind.
Beam layout welding, as well as fabrication machines, are auxiliary equipment. As such, their weight is too much for regular workers to carry. For those who don't know, electron beam welding is a method of welding where electrons are generated at high speeds by the use of electric field.

The TS72 tack up station is hydraulically clamped and pre-fixes prefabricated beans' leading edges. Franklin 40 Series CNC Gantry provides automatic pick and place loading to flanges made from the Franklin CNC Fleece Line System. Franklin "60 Series gantries are capable of holding up to 60ft. of length and providing 75ft. travel storage.
A Conveyor System connects the Beam Layout Welding and Tacking Fixture to create a production line that allows for continuous beam production. The entrance and exit of Seam Welder and Tacking Fixture are controlled hydraulically by conveyors. Each station has its own controls that control the speed, direction, movement and movement of adjacent conveyors.
The gantry frame consists of the walking beams as well the columns and the upper platforms. Each of the walking beams are driven by a motor decreaser. This creates an efficient and reliable double-drive system. Rails and racks can be found on the platform's front. These can also be used to move welding arms and tool carriages. There are two sets for flux recovery machines or wire on the platform.
A welded beam consists of three individual sections of steel – a web, a top flange and a bottom flange. These segments are merged together with deep fillet welds to create an incredibly robust building material.
